All map data representing public land boundaries are general and at this scale DO NOT accurately represent the actual legal boundaries and thus should be used for reference only, not navigation to or on public lands. Please respect private property and verify public lands by observing boundary signs and contacting local DNR offices. State forest lands, represented in green on the PDF, also includes a patchwork of public and private lands. For a detailed map of public lands within a state forest, go to the individual state forest's Web page.
